"DYNAMO" - Recommendations of Personnel.
.M.S. JAGUAR - Lieutenant Commander John Franklin William Hine R.N.
JAGUAR made one trip to Dunkirk beach on the 28th May, and 700 troops were brought home. On the 29th May, JAGUAR
was attacked by dive bombers while on passage to Dunkirk, but the attackers were driven off by A/A fire. Having embarkel
800 troops, JAGUAR left Dunkirk by order of the Senior
Naval Officer, to provide cover for transport LOCH GARRY.
Whilst taking station ahead of this 12 knot transport, and in waters allowing little freedom of manoeuvre, 14 dive bombing attacks developed. A near miss caused considerable damage to ship and personnel, the engines and steering gear were put out of action and Nos.1 and 2 boiler rooms and low-power rooms were flooding. Troops were transferred to
EXPRESS and RIKA, but eventually steam was raised and
JAGUAR was able to reach Dover.
Recommendations.
OFFICERS.
Lieutenant Francis Bruen, R.N.

On return to Dover, a Sub. Lieutenant or other officer was required by Vice Admiral, Dover, for service in a
Dutch skoot. Lieutenant Bruen insisted on volunteering, despite his wound, and while in the skoot evacuated troops from a beach under fire, afterwards being discharged to hospital owing to his wound.
